John Buck, of Tunbridge, Vt., changes the gear oil in what he describes as "a heavily-abused bush hog" at his farm on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2021. Buck was about to mow an upper field on his land. He tries to manage the field for upland songbirds. A scarlet tanager is one of the birds he has seen in the field. (Valley News - Jennifer Hauck) Copyright Valley News.
